Jian Zhilei's personality is inherited from Jian Bozhang, and he is a bit upright. In addition, as the eldest son of the eldest son, he takes charge of the family at a young age. The combination of power, talent, and status makes him full of fatherliness.
Anyway, that's how Jian Zhiyan felt. She and her brother, unknowingly, got along like a father and daughter.
Just like now, halfway through the night run, Jian Zhiyan lied and said she couldn't run. Jian Zhilei dragged her arm and forced her to walk another kilometer until she could finally rest.
Beside the bench, four bodyguards stood guard not far away.
Jian Zhiyan's shoulder-length hair was messy after the trek. She sat on a chair, removed the rubber bands, and tied them up again.
"Drink some hot drinks to warm yourself up." A cup of hot chocolate was poured from the thermos pot, still steaming white.
Jian Zhiyan took it and said, "Don't you want to drink it?"
Jian Zhilei shook his head, "I will lose sleep if I drink this."
He put the silver thermos bottle at his feet, opened a bottle of mineral water himself, sat next to Jian Zhiyan, took a few sips, and slowly straightened his long legs.
Tonight, Jian Zhilei wore a night running gear, all black, which made his face fair and cold. He was only slightly moved by this sister, who had a thousand-year-old iceberg face.
Jian Zhilei: "I have been working in Jinjing for a month. How do you feel? Are you getting used to it?"
Jian Zhiyan smiled and said, "It's okay. Lawyer Fan takes good care of me, and my colleagues... are also easy to get along with."
"That's good." Jian Zhilei rubbed her head, "You have a soft temper. I was originally worried that you would suffer a hidden disadvantage because you were new here and didn't understand the ways of the world... Now don't worry, those smart people from the Legal Department,
Just know how to avoid hiding your identity."
"Yeah." Jian Zhiyan nodded vigorously and took the opportunity to say, "Then when my internship period in the legal department is over, can I-"
"You can become a full-time lawyer at any time." Jian Zhilei also said, "Even in the future, if you want to become an independent lawyer or open your own firm, my brother will support you."
Jian Zhiyan reached out to cover her cold cheeks and said no more.
What she originally wanted was to get out of Jinjing as soon as possible and then find a way to return to her job. Even if her brother could not accept her as an actress, Jian Zhiyan would rather work behind the scenes than she wanted this lie to continue.
But now it seems...Jian Zhilei has even thought about her future "career path" in advance.
I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to escape for the time being.
The small drinking cup was casually placed by his legs, Jian Zhiyan stretched his waist, and moved around with Jian Zhilei.
Perhaps it was the cover of night, but the tranquility here did not seem too abrupt. The two took a rest, and Jian Zhilei asked his sister, "Do you want to run again?"
"don't want!"
Jian Zhiyan waved her hands quickly, the excuse was ready.
"I'm going back. I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow."
Jian Zhilei looked at his watch and saw that it was indeed very late. He walked out with Jian Zhiyan and accidentally remembered something.
"Zhongjun Film and Television has invested in a project. It is said to be for film and television post-production. Have you heard about it?"
Jian Zhiyan: "..."
Not only had she heard of it, she had also been there.
Jian Zhilei: "That project has just been completed recently. There will be a dinner party this Wednesday. Please help me go there and make an appearance on behalf of Jin Jing." It's a courtesy between friends.
Jian Zhiyan frowned secretly, "Do I have to go? Brother, why don't you go by yourself?"
Lu Yin was the person Zhong Jun had spoken to, and with his identity, only Jian Zhilei was equal to him. Logically, he should go there in person, but Jian Zhilei had always looked down on the entertainment industry, so this job fell to him.
On Jian Zhiyan's body.
Jian Zhilei half explained, half coaxed, "Just treat it like a joke, I'll ask Assistant Liu to accompany you there."
On Wednesday, the dinner was held on the top floor of the Flying Saucer Building.
The banquet hall has a high dome, bright lights, and shadows in the clothes and temples. It does seem to be a bit of a revelry.
Jian Zhiyan wore a champagne-colored evening dress and signed her name on the background board at the end of the red carpet.
Although she was not happy about it, when she posed for the camera, she looked as good as a star, which quickly attracted people's attention.
Among them is Xiaopang.
He was the equipment instructor tonight. He was very excited when he saw a familiar face. He left his colleagues and ran over to Jian Zhiyan.
"Little sister! It's you!"
At that time, Jian Zhiyan was wearing thin clothes. As soon as he stepped out of the camera, Assistant Liu quickly stepped forward and wrapped him up with a thousand-piece bird shawl.
The arrival of Xiaopang was obviously beyond Jian Zhiyan's expectation. She was slightly startled, and when she recognized the person, she secretly sighed, "Oh my life!"
Xiaopang knew her, so didn't he explain in disguise that she had been to Lu Yin's territory before?!
On the face, Jian Zhiyan smiled appropriately and quickly looked at Assistant Liu, her brother's number one confidant.
Sure enough, Assistant Liu, who was doing his duty faithfully, showed doubts and reached out to stop him.
"Sir, you are..."
"My surname is Yu, and I am friends with Miss Jian."
The little fat boy didn't recognize his life at all. After announcing his family status, his attention was focused on the radiant Jian Zhiyan.
He said: "I didn't expect to meet you here, Miss. It turns out you are Jin Jing's daughter!"
"hehe……"
Jian Zhiyan smiled and actually wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. At the same time, another group of guests who had signed their names came behind him.
There was a group of men in suits and leather shoes, and Lu Yin was among them.
As the organizer, he walked at the front, wearing a cool dark blue suit, a white shirt collar, and a sapphire blue silk scarf, looking graceful and full of momentum.
Xiaopang also saw his boss and ran away before Jian Zhiyan could say anything.
“Let’s chat on WeChat later, I have to go to work!”
Strangers came and left in a hurry, leaving Assistant Liu confused.
He protected Jian Zhiyan as he walked into the venue, and couldn't help but ask: "That Mr. Yu is weird. He doesn't look like a guest. He is an employee here. Miss, how do you know Mr. Lu's employees?"
"Well," Jian Zhiyan paused tactically, "We met at an event. We got along well, so we added him on WeChat. In fact, we only met once."
"...I didn't know he was an employee here beforehand, so it was quite unexpected to meet him today..."
"Is it?"
Assistant Liu used his MIT brain to think for a moment, "Mr. Yu doesn't look like a bad guy, but he knows your identity now. Miss, you should be more cautious when dealing with him in the future."
This means there is no doubt.
Jian Zhiyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, OK, I know.
Assistant Liu's phone happened to ring and he turned around to answer it.
Almost capsized in the gutter, Jian Zhiyan, with a hint of luck, rushed behind Assistant Liu, stuck out his tongue and made a face, as if he was letting out a bad breath, amusing himself.
Jian Zhiyan held a decorative fan, covered her mouth and smiled. She twisted her graceful waist slightly and turned around. She found Lu Yin standing not far away, looking at her.
